Give them a hug each
day!
Give your kids a hug each day!
That
doesn't seem much, you may say?
You rather go on a
holiday?
Or give them presents, on Boxing Day?
Whatever you do, whatever you say,
how much
you give, how much you play,
at the top of the list
should always stay
to hug your children, every day!
Whether they're big, whether they're small,
whether they're short or whether they're tall,
once they've grown up, they'll recall
that what
they loved, most of all . . .
wasn't the
chocolate, or TV,
or playing outside, climbing the
tree,
it wasn't the icecream, after tea,
or to go
for a swim, in the sea . . .
It wasn't that fancy
holiday,
or things for which you had to pay,
like
pizzas from the take-away,
or the presents they got,
on Boxing Day.
It wasn't the games they used to
play,
but something you gave, every day . . .
If
given a choice, they will say:
"Give me a hug each
day!"
